Ambition addiction:

how to go slow, give thanks, and discover joy within

“There’s the life you and I think we want. That’s a sickness, really, and one that Ambition Addiction diagnoses thoroughly yet entertainingly. Then there’s another life, a real, genuine, truly joyful life of service that you and I can lead. It’s right here, right now—all it takes is the knowledge and presence of mind to face some very real facts. SHALVA'S BOOK IS BRACING MEDICINE FOR THOSE OF US CAUGHT UP IN THE STRESS AND HUNGER AND BUSY-NESS OF THIS FAST, FAST WORLD.”

— Waylon Lewis, founder of ELEPHANT JOURNAL

“In Ambition Addiction, Benjamin Shalva has written a simple, practical, and often profound guide for all of us struggling to check the oversized fantasies prowling around our heads and re-engage with the real life passing us by below. It's honest, humorous, sincere and, most of all A WONDERFUL TOOL FOR SELF-REFLECTION.”

— Benjamin Lorr, author of HELL-BENT: OBSESSION, PAIN AND THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING LIKE TRANSCENDENCE IN COMPETITIVE YOGA
